A Regrettable Proposal

Many missteps finally lead to love. Lovely & sweet.

Audiobook Review:
This is an enjoyable sweet Regency romance. The new Lord Worth continually lands himself in hot water with Eleanor, his late predecessor’s ward by saying embarrassing and insulting things, including a drunken proposal of marriage over some land she inherited, carved off from his new estate. As they spend more time together in London and come to really know one another, both develop stronger feelings. I really like this story. The romance is lovely and gradual. There are many interesting characters, and a sweet secondary romance as well. There is also subplot of intrigue as some of the male characters endeavour to uncover a French spy. The story is interesting and the romance is lovely. It evolves gradually. This is book one in a trilogy and introduces many characters that appear in the other two books, but can be read as a standalone. This is a sweet and clean story with no harsh language.

The narration is good and I liked it overall. The tone and volume were steady and easy to listen to. The narrator has a pleasant voice and varied the voices for the female characters, but there was less variation with the male characters. I did find that there were a few words that the narrator seemed to pronounce oddly. Most prominent for me was “Boney”, referring to Napoleon Boneaparte. I am fairly certain it is pronounced as “bone-ee”, but she said it as “Bonnie”.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
